Day 2 - " Collapse "

" Collapse " ( 2009 film )
Director : Chris Smith
Starring: Michael Ruppert


"Collapse" is a documentary of some sort on the world's economic system from Michael Ruppert's point of view. The film starts off as him speaking of how the world truly works in place of how we are told it works. The country is constantly told how our economy is in a recession or how were not well of and that the situation will get better. However, with the way the country is headed now things will continue on an exponential depreciation rate in sense of a decrease in our economy. Our world depends completely on oil. Everything is made of oil; our tooth brushes, our cars , our clothes, our food and much more. As we know , oil is a non renewable resource ; meaning the earth will no longer produce it once it is all gone. According to Michael Ruppert with our over usage of oil , the oil will be gone in 10 to 15 years. Oil is widely used as an energy source across the globe. So when all the oil is gone , so is our largest energy source. Yes the human race will have the second most known which is wind and solar energy , but wind and solar energy wont power everything the way oil did.

According to Michael Ruppert , the United States is keeping the reality of what is going on in our country and in our world. For example , he speaks of the CIA smuggling drugs to get money; and , he also speaks of the United States not confronting the truth about the decrease in oil production. There are three phases in the decline of the economy : Denile , Anger , Acceptance. And according to him , the world has expirience denile and are barley touching the surface of anger.

The condition the world is in today has been the cause of greed. We are all hell bent on wanting more and more of the limited resources. St. Timothy once said, " The love of money is the root to all evil-" . Most of the crimes in the world and the violence is because of money . It is always human nature to desire a plethora of luxuries , but the question is : How far will the human race go for something they want ?
